And a bunch of lonely geeks are reading about getting inside something that's known for sucking really well.

"important information on how to kill a Roomba"
I thought we already acquired this vital information circa 1985? You just jump in the air and stomp on it. Or spit fireballs. Or get a starm... ohhhh Roomba.
important information on how to kill a Roomba if you get trapped in a sci-fi horror flick with one threatening to suck up your breakfast.
I'll remember that, next time that happens. Though, if it's a typical sci-fi/horror flick, my breakfast would be trying to eat me anyway.
The best way to kill one, though, would be to make a little trail of dirt that it follows around a corner, where you are waiting with a sledgehammer....

The cool part about the Roombas is, once you have dissected it and put it back together, you have a handy vacuum cleaner to pick up all the left over screws. ..
"Honey, I don't think you were supposed to have all that left over."
"Nonsense! The company included those for demonstration. Watch."
*clack clack clack fzzzt!*
Umm, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to bookmark the Roomba anatomy site.

Well, I guess those three techniques still work.

What happens when you overclock a Roomb- Whoops! There goes the cat!
Just because you can mod me down, doesn't mean you're right. Shoes for industry!
Must be serendipity when you have two Slashdot articles, one on dissecting a poor, hapless appliance and one right under it covering when the puny humans pay for their transgressions
A Roomba is great until it gets stuck behind your computer desk or wrapped up in something. Might as well get a puppy.
